I.YNN CHAMBERS’ .MENU
A« loon as warmer weather starts
•roping Into the house, many a wom
en asks the all-important question
"How can 1 keep cool and still cook
for the fam ily?”
That Is a neat trick, but you can
do It, too. The first tiling is to plan
your menus so there are no long
cooking Ideas in them. Make a point
of not selecting anything that will
require more than 30 minutes cook
ing.
Tho second is to do most of your
work In the cool of the morning, so
that you won't be spending too much
time right at supper time when it is
so warm.
The third is to plan all-cool meals
and get the preparation out of the
way before hot weather really hits
you. There are a number of cool
Ideas such as meat or meat-fortified
salads that can be whipped together
early and stored until supper time.
Do this once or twice a week and
see how nicely it works.
Here are several Ideas that won't
require much actual cooking prepa
ration. Use them often for variety.

Salad Thai Satisfies
Salad suggestions always intrigue
the homemaker who is interested in
varying her menus, particularly
when she wants to “ dress up” a cold
meal for hot summer days. Here is
one slightly different from the usual
salad: Make lemon Jelly in the usual
manner, using lemon flavored gela
tin or the plain unflavored gelatin
and following the standard recipe.
Turn into molds which have been
rinsed with cold water. F ill molds
about one-fourth full. Let this gela
tin harden. Then fill molds with a
combination of chopped apple, grat
ed coconut, celery and a bit of
chopped pimento for flavor. To two
cups gelatin, use one cup chopped
apple, two-thlrds cup chopped cel
ery, one pimento and one-half cup
grated coconut.
F ill molds with
gelatin and chill until firm . Serve
on salad greens with French dress
ing or a sour cream dressing.

as you’ve never seen.
If you're the tailored type, stay
with the solids in rayon or linen,
for they're sleek and cool and al
ways make you look beautiful. If
you’re more casual, try an all print
or a print and solid combination.
The dress, bolero or top should
fit at the shoulders without any
pulling or straining. The shoulder
seam should lie about 54 inch back
of the center of the shoulder and be
absolutely straight from neckline to
sleeve scam.
If you are square shouldered you
don't need much padding. If the
shoulders are round and sloping
you’ll need just enough padding to
make the dress look proper.
If your dress or blouse has a
collar, the latter should lie Gat
without wrinkling. Wrinkles from
neckline to shoulder are certainly
an indication of tightness some
where around the neckline, shoulder
or sleeve seam.
If the skirt is on ttie slim side,
look for an easy fit over the hips.
The slim skirts should be a little
longer than full ones to give the
fashionable length, but select the
length which is best looking for
you.
Make your waistline fit properly
and don’t try to camouGage loose
ness with a belt as this only makes
a messy result.
Armholes should be big enough so
that you feel at ease and comfort
able. Avoid tight cuGs if your arm*
are chubby.

FIRST AID TO AILING HOUSES
By Roger Whitman
QUESTION: Is there anything
(hat I could use to fill rather wide
cracks which have appeared be
tween baseboard and moulding?
ANSWER: That joint can be
closed with a form of moulding
called quarter-round. This should
be attached not to the baseboard or
Gooring, but by long nails passing
at an angle through the opening be
tween baseboard and Gooring and
into the timber behind. There w ill
be continual movement in the Ooor-
ing and baseboard through the sea
sons, and secured In this manner
the joint w ill remain covered.
QUESTION; Please give me cor
rect information on the refinishing
of enamel, porcelain and glazed
surfaces.
ANSWER: I f you mean a new
porcelain finish, that work cannot
be done at home. The hard gloss
of the surfaces is baked on at the
factory and is impossible to dupi-
cate at home with paint or anything
else. Chipped places can be re
stored with a porcelain patching
preparation that is on sale in most
hardware stores.

Styles in Play Clothes
Considered Interesting
Whatever your feelings about the
new look, you’re certain to like
what they’re showing in the casual
department. You’ll find many back
less dresses that come with boleros
that w ill make them just right for
street wear. Shorts come with halt
ers, and In many cases the skirts
that cover them are voluminous.
You’ll bask In their luxury.
Naturally, if you golf, you’ll want
a smaller type of skirt, such as a
four gored type topped by a halter,
or something even more classic.
You’ll find the boleros very prac
tical and this means that with so
many parts to a dress you can mix
prints and monotone colors.
Choose that style that w ill suit
your activities, and then play the
material with the same thing in
mind. If you make the four piece
